[Cin] ffmpeg - cuda

[Phyllis Smith]

Sergio,
Thank you so much for sharing your results which are quite impressive.  Am
I understanding correctly that the only change you ended up making was
the"*hwaccel_flags
to (0x00000002) ?? *allow_high_depth" to the h264-nvenc.mp4 ffmpeg option
file?  I want to add that as a choice for others to see.  Probably your
newer/higher end graphics board was very beneficial -- a good way to
justify upgrading if using h264/h265.

GG/Phyllis
